Video Cutter is a
free video cutting and joining software. It supports formats such as mp4, mpg,
avi, ogm, mkv, flv. It is relatively simple to use as well, making it the best
when splitting files in mp4 format.
Installing the
software is very straight forward, so there should be no issues with that. The
program has a clear toolbar on top with all the important buttons - Open, Save
Video, Load / Run Project and even a Calculator. After a file has been opened,
choose markers 'A' and 'B' to select portions of the video you wish to delete
(deletion is done using the 'Del' key, which is very convenient). The best way
to do this is to locate the beginning of the section you wish to keep and click
the 'B' marker - the previous portion is then marked with blue, allowing you to
delete it. And best yet, one can cut to the last second before the desired
section, thereby ensuring none of your precious moments are lost. Then, just
click Save Project As before you Save Video.
Here again, Video
Cutter mux has several tools to benefit its users. There are preset
output formats under the 'Auto' tab - these include Apple iPod, iPhone, Sony
Playstation Portable, DVD and Microsoft Zune. But be wary, the program does
have a habit of crashing, so always remember to save your project before you
save the video.
Aside from these
preset formats, one can also choose the video and audio format for the video
from the dropdown menus on the left-hand side.
However, despite
all its merits, Video Cutter does have its fair share of drawbacks that should
be kept in mind. One, most video formats loaded on the program open with an
error message such as 'H.264 detected' and the like. But this warning is only
to do with the playback within the program - it does not affect the video
output.
Another problem is
that in copy mode the program requires the edited video to begin on an I-frame
(or keyframe). This isn't always possible, and even when one does begin on a
I-frame, it may not be the frame the program requires and hence, the video will
not be saved. This is a little inconvenient, because you do not always want to
have to choose separate formats for both video and audio.
What Video Cutter gets right is that it
successfully cuts mp4 and mkv files, which is hard to find.
It also has the
ability to join videos, which is convenient when there are several different
sections of one large file that one needs to cut out and then put back
together. But keep in mind that to join video files the size and formats of the
different sections need to be the same. Know more about Allpepole Video Cutter
